The Task of the Interpreter offers a new approach to what it means to interpret a text, and reconciles the possibility of multiple interpretations with the need to consider the authors intention. Vandevelde argues that interpretation is both an act and an event: It is an act in that interpreters, through the statements they make, implicitly commit themselves to justifying their positions, if prompted. It is an event in that interpreters are situated in a cultural and historical framework and come to a text with questions, concerns, and methods of which they are not fully conscious. These two aspects make interpretation a negotiation of meaning. The Task of the Interpreter provides an interdisciplinary investigation of textual interpretation including biblical hermeneutics (Gregory the Greats Homilies on Ezekiel), translation (Homers The Odyssey), and literary fictions (Grasss Dog Years and Sabatos On Heroes and Tombs). Vandeveldes philosophical discussion will appeal to theorists of both continental and analytical/pragmatic traditions.
